When Acclaimed pop singer and hip hop artist Alicia G was growing up she often found herself listening to Garth Brooks and Tim McGraw nearly as often as she listened to 50 cent and Eminem. But today, the energetic artist is channeling her country roots with her new single “Daisy Duke Two Step,” available on Jan. 19 on Apple Music, Spotify and elsewhere.

The energetic country-flavored new single, which recalls the comely “Dukes of Hazzard” character, blends, country, pop and hip hop with an infectious beat that encourages listeners to dance and revel in the catchy melody and Alicia’s distinctive voice.
“I love pop and hip hop, but I always wanted to record something with a unique country feel,” Alicia G said. “It’s definitely not your dad’s country music, but it’s a great blend of many influences I’ve had, namely from country to rock, pop, rhythm and blues and more – something that I think the fans will love!”

The music video, which is available on YouTube here or at https://youtu.be/UTxp_NAeuKk, features Alicia G performing in cowboy boots and Daisy Duke denim shorts at a barnyard hoe down.

The single was produced by veteran music producer Andrew Lane, whose past work includes such artists as The Backstreet Boys, Miley Cyrus and others. “Daisy Duke Two Step” follows the success of her hit single “It’s Little, But It Jiggles” last fall.

Coming to fame as a teenage beauty queen when she first appeared in the ABC reality series “Wife Swap” in 2008, where Alicia G was asked to portray a bratty teenager in the reality series. But in the backlash from her portrayal, she suffered incessant hate mail and abuse on social media which culminated in physical attacks at school and elsewhere. Despite the suffering, Alicia G persevered and went on to embark on a career in the music industry where despite occasional online hate, she has won over fans with such hits as “Talk to the Hand,” “Pretty Girl,” “Ca$h & Nap” and others in recent years.

Alicia G is a hip hop and pop artist as well as a DJ with a slew of hit singles to her name over the years. She is also a DJ, performing around the country before the pandemic shut things down. She first came into public attention when she was cast as a teenager in ABC’s “Wife Swap,” where her mother and the mother of another family switched places and she was told to portray herself as a bratty teen in the reality show. That portrayal landed her much hate mail and bullying online and at her school where she was physically attacked repeatedly.

She ultimately took ABC to court over the show portraying her as a brat and delusional. The case was later settled out of court.

Since then she has turned her attention to music as a pop singer, hip hop artist and more recently as a DJ, performing live on the Vigo app to hundreds of thousands of fans as she spins her music.

She also works with noted music producer Andrew Lane, who has worked on “Hannah Montana” with Miley Cyrus for the Disney Channel as well as artists like The Backstreet Boys and Irene Cara. Lane has produced her new single and her past singles.
